Alamo Police Create Community Safe Zone

The city of Alamo has become the latest to set up a community safe zone. The safe zone is intended to be an area where divorced couples can meet to ensure a civil exchange in child custody cases, or where people can safely purchase an item following a deal made online.

Alamo police say the safe zone is meant to prevent a violent dispute from breaking out between divorced parents, or between seller and buyer following a purchase agreed to online. The safe zone will be monitored 24 hours a day by police security cameras.
